A question of style [modified]
-
I'm designing the wedding invitation cards and it's come down to one last glitch. The card says on the top "
Anjana & Vikram", along with a couple of lines we have to say about each other [EDIT](the couple of lines are set apart in the background, they're not part of the sentence, so it's safe to entirely ignore them)[/EDIT], and in the vertical centre, it says, "request you to share our joy on a day of happy beginnings", followed by the addresses and timings at the bottom. When you read the actual message from beginning to end, "Anjana & Vikram request you to share _our_ joy on a day of happy beginnings" doesn't sound quite right, but "Anjana & Vikram request you to share their joy on a day of happy beginnings" sounds too impersonal. I'm leaning towards the former, but I thought I'd ask you guys. Any strong leanings towards either? If it helps, this is an informal, personal invitation that will be handed out to a small number of close friends and colleagues; none of the vast hordes of uncles, aunts, and grannies will be getting this.Cheers, विक्रम (Have gone past my troika - 4 CCCs!)

Perfect would be "share in their joy", but that kind of event isn't about technical perfection.
